    Exactly, a marathon runner might not be able to do under 6 minutes... Different energy systems using different distrobution.

    Actually, at the top level of marathon runners 6 minute miles or less is the average.

    haha i think thats why he said might not. i've seen a few of them you run around a constant 5:19 pace, which to be honest is sick. i can only hold that for 2 miles.

    I remember when I was in the Navy I did a mile and a half in 10:08, I didn't run regularly at the time and I smoked back then, but I was only 19 then also.

    And plus, 10 miles a day doesn't make your 1 mile two mile and 5k faster. you need to do WORKOUTS such as fartleks, thresholds, tempo's intervals and repeats at a hard work rate. you only do a long run once a week.

    Actually in terms of general time increase it would, running 10 miles a day would make your body effeicient at running, yes at longer distances but since the you need to run longer distances then 5k to increase you 5k time along with speed work as well.

    how do you guys run your 2 miles?
    I am usually steady for the 1st mile and pick it up in the 2nd with a finishing kick at the end.
    I think I get that from watching the athletics on tv as a kid.
